Ā« The Hotel de la Marine, a small Versailles on the Place de la Concorde. Ā» It was designed by the architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel and built between 1757 and 1774 on the newly created square first called Place Louis XV. The HĆ“tel de la Marine was originally the home of the royal Garde-Meuble, the office managing the furnishing of all royal properties. Following the French Revolution it became the Ministry of the Navy, which occupied it until 2015 (as part of the Ministry of Defence). The building was entirely renovated between 2015 and 2021, for it to now display the restored 18th century apartments of Marc-Antoine Thierry de Ville-dā€™Avray, the Kingā€™s Intendant of the Garde-Meuble, as well the salons and chambers later used by the French Navy. A separate part displays the Al Thani Collection presenting international and inter-cultural works of art from the collection of Sheik Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani.

Itā€™s not your typical shopping experience, but at Deyrolle on Rue du Bac you can get your own camel taxidermy, to give you an example. During the 20th century, Deyrolle was a Parisian institution for natural sciences and pedagogy. It is one of the best known companies of entomology and taxidermy of Paris. Itā€™s worth to know that at Deyrolle, with only a few exceptions, no animal was killed to be mounted: the non-domestic species come from zoos, parks, where they died of old age or illness. The first aim of Deyrolle was to teach natural sciences to children and students, but Deyrolle was a point of interest also for artists: the surrealists AndrĆ© Breton and Salvador DalĆ­, the painters Jean Dubuffet and Mathieu, the writers Louise de Vilmorin and ThĆ©odore Monod, Raymond Queneau and many others stopped regularly at the shop. Ɖric Sander or also Charwei Tsai was exhibited at Deyrolle. Woody Allen used the rooms of Deyrolle in July 2010 for his movie Midnight in Paris, and Wes Anderson is a huge fan of the shop.

Earlier this year we went to the Luxembourg Museum in Paris to see Tarsila do Amaral works of art. She was Brazilian painter, draftswoman, and translator and is considered one of the leading Latin American modernist artists who blended local Brazilian content with international avant-garde aesthetics. Born in 1886 in the rural town of Capivari, on the outskirts of SĆ£o Paulo, do Amaral was raised in the bucolic, Francophile environment of Brazilā€™s bourgeoisie. At age 34 she left for Paris, where she enrolled at the AcadĆ©mie Julian, the famous school for modern art that drew many international students, while simultaneously studying with French painters AndrĆ© Lhote, Albert Gleizes, and Fernand LĆ©ger, who trained their students in Cubism. Here she would fulfill what she referred to as her ā€œmilitary serviceā€ with Cubism, while searching for a distinct Brazilian voice within modern art. #tarsiladoamaral
